Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or request a quote from this website.
This website is operated by Dcruz Systems LLC ("The Platform Operator") on behalf of The Insurance Producer ("The Insurance Producer"). Throughout this policy, "we", "us", and "our" refer collectively to Dcruz Systems LLC regarding website infrastructure and technical data, and The Insurance Producer regarding insurance services and client data.
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, Dcruz Systems LLC automatically collects certain information about your device to ensure the security and functionality of the platform. This includes information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device.
Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier.
- “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
Additionally, when you attempt to request an insurance quote through the Site, The Insurance Producer collects certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, phone number, and vehicle/property details necessary for underwriting. We refer to this information as “Quote Information.”
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Quote Information.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
The Insurance Producer uses the Quote Information collected generally to fulfill any requests placed through the Site (including processing your data for insurance underwriting, communicating with carriers, and providing you with quote confirmations). Additionally, we use this Quote Information to:

- When in line with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services.
Dcruz Systems LLC uses the Device Information collected to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize the Site (for example, by generating analytics about how customers browse and interact with the platform).
